Shooting in Kenosha near Carthage College

[CatManTrue]

Wow. A half-mile from where we used to hold preseason at some tavern called Somers House. 3 dead, 2 wounded, and an ongoing manhunt to find out who did it.

Stay safe out there. Hope all of our local fans were nowhere near there.

Used to down many beers there at Somers House after visiting 'Cats Kenosha practices in the Gary Barnett era.

Wonder if Kenosha camp will be a casualty of Covid. Obviously, we didn't go last year and I doubt we would go this year.

Sounds like they’ve caught whoever it was, but haven’t released the name yet. They also arrested the Texas shooter and did reveal his identity.

You lost me after T.... Just pointing out the obvious, There will be OT creep, especially as we get into the season. Hungry Jack is not the only one out there itching to post what is really on his mind. Sports are not isolated from the rest of what athletes and fans do. Do not blame the messenger.

I thought Fitz said we were done with Kenosha once the new practice facilities came online?

Carthage College literally hosted our preseason football for a couple of decades. Barnett used it to help bring the Purple back to Pasadena. It’s also probably the Wisconsin city with the highest percentage of Wildcat fans as a result.

The board that can’t be mentioned has nothing to do with this.

Actually, Wisconsin-Parkside hosted the preseason camp - the practice facility and accomodations. A few times they played a public scrimmage at Carthage but not in the beginning.

I stand corrected - my memory of Kenosha was a blur of practice and film study with no breaks, didn’t realize we were on UW territory. The last time I visited was in 2006 and I believe Carthage hosted a public practice, hence my confusion.

Still, how many Wildcat fans and family members enjoyed libations at this watering hole. Definitely not OT in my book.

This is correct -- most of Camp Kenosha was on the UW-Parkside campus, but they actually didn't/don't have a football team and "game day"-type facilities were limited to a pretty meager soccer stadium. Carthage had a more legitimate football stadium set up, the team would occasionally head over there for open practices and/or spring games. Carthage also installed Field Turf in 2007 and it was nice to practice on that surface in addition to the natural grass at UW-Parkside.

Based on your posts here on the sports boards, MrbossypantsWildcat, you are the one who should be leaving everyone here alone, you contribute very little but negative. But that's up to the mods. If they want to ban me and my $9.99/ month for saying that, that is their prerogative.

A quick google search will display many polical forums for you to obsess over. This isn’t one of them...
